How many times...

[av bronco]

Have you bought something and hoarded it for a year or two then try to install it olny to find out it's the wrong part or it dont work,and you have no clue where the recept is? seems to happen about 50% of the time to me.

Um, could be, lol

How about buy a part, sit on it a year and when you are ready for it can't find it and have to buy another. I'm just waiting for the original to turn up.

Got a new 2-year old mile marker winch sitting on the bench.

How many duplicate tools do you have because you couldn't find the one you were looking for?

How about buying something and finding out that your Bronco was the end of a production run and they installed the changes for the next year. So now I have a 73 turn signal switch that I've had for 4 years cuz I had to buy a 74 instead.

Yea on the tool front.... I just bought a new pair of diagonal cutters because I can't find my snap-on pair.. Hope they turn up soon.

how about rushing out to buy a tool, only to find out it's a cheap china stamping that doesn't work, and now you have to go buy a good one which delays a job half a day? just a few weeks ago....

How about putting something somewhere so you won't lose it but can't remember where that safe place is.

 

[Nightmare Bronc]

That's just my problem. I put things in a good safe place and it's too safe for me to find them.

turns out i've got 3 sets of chinese brake line flaring tools - that makes just about enough bits to have one that works.

Dude...
Now you're hitting close to home. But can you really have too many sockets?

What about hanging onto spare stuff for over a year, then have a good cleaning and throwing it away only to need it the next day.

Are you saying you misplaced your winch, bought a new one and then found the old one?

It happens far too often. I hate finding out that the described NOS part is in reality an out-of-country copy.

I'm a little OCD so I have duplicates of all sorts of crap. Always forgetting where I stashed stuff, or finding stuff I stashed and not remembering what the heck I was saving it for %)
